hou Ruoying, who was always keeping an eye on Miao Yu, noticed his fingers moving in the air. However, she did not know what he was up to, but since her usually mysterious brother never acted without...Chapter 200: Auto Show (Please Support with Monthly Tickets)
"Buy a SUV! An SUV is better!"
Xiao Yu still preferred SUVs over sedans, and since his family was large, an SUV had the advantage of carrying more people.
"SUV… German cars are better, Japanese and Korean ones aren't good enough," Lu Jianhong said after thinking for a moment.
Lu Jianhong instinctively did not like Japanese or Korean cars; in addition, Japanese cars had very low safety ratings, and he didn’t have much affection for Korean cars either.
"Alright, let's buy German cars then," Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu and his group sped towards the auto city.
As one of the top three cities in the country, Deep Sea’s auto city surpassed Xiao Yu’s expectations in terms of size and liveliness.
It was still early morning, yet the auto city was already teeming with people. Before Xiao Yu’s group could enter the auto city, they were stopped by the crowd. Reluctantly, they had to park their car on a roadside parking spot.
After parking the car, Xiao Yu and his companions got out and followed the flow of people into the auto city.
"Why are there so many people" Xiao Yu moved along slowly with the crowd, Mu Yu couldn’t help but grumble.
"Who knows But judging by how most of them are carrying cameras, could it be that there’s an auto show here"
Xiao Yu had been in Deep Sea for a longer period and, although he hadn't attended an auto show himself, he had seen reports about the grandeur of Deep Sea's auto shows on the news. So he guessed as much based on seeing almost everyone with cameras.
As a prosperous coastal city, every car exhibition in Deep Sea was spectacular. Not only would all media outlets cover it extensively, but many ordinary citizens who loved cars would bring their cameras to catch a glimpse of the latest luxury vehicles from around the world.
In Deep Sea, don't underestimate an ordinary citizen carrying street market goods with a camera; they might turn out to be multimillionaires or billionaires.
Someone described that in Beijing, there were many officials. On early mornings, an uncle or aunt riding a bicycle and holding a bag of soy milk and fried dough twists could very well be a bureau-level cadre.
In Zhonghai, there were many nobles. An old man or woman carrying a basket to haggle with small vendors in the market might belong to a noble family with hundreds of years of lineage.
Deep Sea was famous for its numerous wealthy individuals. Xiao Yu once saw an online description stating that if someone threw a grenade into Deep Sea's dense crowds, 1% of those killed would be billionaires, 40% would be millionaires, another 40% would be hundred-thousandaires, and only the remaining 19% would be ordinary citizens.
Although this description might be exaggerated, it does reflect the fact that there are many wealthy people in Deepsea.
Xiao Yu followed the crowd along the road. Through conversations with passersby, he learned that today was the first day of the annual car show in Deepsea.
Lu Jianhong also heard about it and felt very excited. As a car enthusiast, nothing could be more appealing to him than this event.
Although Xiao Yu's wife and Yun Xi were not car enthusiasts, they were happy that they happened to catch the car show while going out this time. Though their stated purpose was to decorate Xiao Yu’s house, they were actually just out for fun.
Xiao Yu entered the auto city where there were 4S stores of various brands with cars from European and American systems, Japanese and Korean systems, as well as domestic local car series dazzling the eye.
At this moment, each exhibition hall was packed with people. Various media representatives and ordinary citizens with cameras around their necks hurriedly moved between halls.
Xiao Yu also walked through various halls with his family members. Since they were out for fun, they naturally wanted to have a good time, so after arriving here, Xiao Yu did not urge them to go buy cars with him but followed them as they toured the exhibition halls.
The car show had two stunning sights: first, there were new luxury cars from all over the world. Second, there were attractive car models at the car show.
Among today's visitors, how many came to see cars and how many came just to look at people Who could tell
Earlier on, near a newly-released luxury car, hundreds of people surrounded it for photos. But Xiao Yu estimated that most were taking pictures of people instead of the car, regardless of age.
Xiao Yu and his family walked through each hall one by one until they reached an Audi 4S store.
The Audi exhibition was very spacious and bustling; over a dozen display vehicles lined up neatly inside the large hall, with a beautiful model standing in front of every car.
This exhibition hall was the largest and most crowded that Xiao Yu had seen after passing by Mercedes-Benz's.
Xiao Yu knew little about cars himself, so he followed along with the crowd. Lu Jianhong introduced him to familiar models as they walked through. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu’s wife and Yun Xi chattered non-stop ahead of them.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu stopped in front of a black SUV. This car was grand yet not ostentatious, giving off an impression of maturity and stability.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think about this car" Xiao Yu pointed at the black SUV and asked.
"This one It's the Audi Q7 series. In my opinion, it’s very good — not showy but reserved and unpretentious. The price is also reasonable."
Lu Jianhong followed where Xiao Yu was pointing and said this when he saw an Audi Q7.
Xiao Yu and Lu Jianhong stood outside the crowd, helplessly shaking their heads as they watched people taking photos in layers around them. They had initially planned to squeeze inside for a closer look at the car, but it seemed that was no longer possible.
Having no other choice, the two of them found a staff member and learned through the staff's explanation that there was another garage behind this showroom where they could test-drive cars if they were interested in any particular model.
"Sis, Yunxi, let’s go see a car at the back. Will you guys come along" Xiao Yu walked up to one of the booths and said to Xiao ‘Yu’ and Yunxi who were browsing around.
"We won’t be joining you. Let us know when you’re done!" replied Xiao ‘Yu’ without turning her head, then pulling Yunxi away to another booth.
Seeing that his sister was still in the middle of her enthusiasm, Xiao Yu did not continue to disturb her and instead followed the staff member with his brother-in-law to the storage area at the back of the showroom.
The staff member led them to an Audi Q7, handing a set of car keys over to Xiao Yu. After taking the keys from the staff member, Xiao Yu got into the car for a test drive and found that not only was the exterior appealing to him, but he also felt very comfortable inside.
"Brother-in-law, this car is great! We should buy this one!"
After getting out of the car and handing the keys back to the staff member, Xiao Yu said to Lu Jianhong who was waiting for him nearby.
"Mm-hmm. This car is indeed good. Plus, Audi cars have a much lower chance of malfunctioning and are safer than Japanese or Korean brands!" Lu Jianhong nodded in agreement with what Xiao Yu had said.
“Alright then. We’ll take this model. When can we pick it up” asked Xiao Yu to the staff member.
"Any time you like! During the car show, our inventory is plentiful." Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s willingness to buy, the salesperson beamed with joy as he knew a commission was guaranteed.
“Very well, let’s go!”
The two followed the staff member back into the showroom, where there were still some paperwork to complete.
"Get your hands off me, you dirty ruffians..."
Just as Xiao Yu and Lu Jianhong entered the showroom, they heard a furious shout from afar by Xiao ‘Yu’.
Xiao Yu and Lu Jianhong exchanged looks upon hearing her voice before making their way through the crowd towards where she was shouting.
"Hey... Hey.... Do you want to buy or not..."
The staff member was still basking in the joy of making a sale when Xiao Yu and his companion quickly ran off. The staff member couldn't help but call out to Xiao Yu as he left.
Hearing Xiao Yu's shouts, they had no time left to finalize the car purchase.
Following the sound, they arrived at an exhibition stand where Xiao Yu and Yun Xi were standing amidst a crowd of young men in their twenties surrounding them.
"This is great! This woman here will be the most enjoyable to play with!" One of the young men, standing directly in front of Xiao Yu, leered at her with a salacious expression.
“Hehehe.........”
The youths exchanged glances and let out a series of sleazy laughs.
Xiao Yu shielded Yun Xi behind him without saying anything, instead watching the group warily.
The surrounding crowd snapped photos with their cameras, showing no inclination to intervene despite seeing several men bullying two girls.
"Haha, how about it If you two sisters spend one night with us brothers, we won't make you pay for our stuff!"
Looking at the mature and alluring Xiao Yu and the innocent Yun Xi before him, he swallowed his saliva involuntarily and wiped the drool from his mouth.
A finger then reached out toward Xiao Yu's face.
Xiao Yu slapped it away upon seeing the approaching hand.
"Ouch...... You dare hit me I see you're not interested in a friendly offer, so consider this punishment! Today, you must pay compensation, and there will be no discount from 300,000 yuan!"
The youth pointed at the shattered camera on the ground as he spoke.
"Your camera wasn't dropped by us. Why should we compensate for it" Xiao Yu said to the group before her.
"You say you didn't do it Do our brothers believe that You guys, did you see them drop the camera" The youth shouted.
"Yes....... We all saw it! It was dropped by that girl behind you!" A few of the other youths joined in.
"How about this If you spend a night with us, we'll waive the 300,000 yuan. Think about how suitable this is for both of you! Just one night spent together earns you 300,000 yuan! been through the trials of business for many years, Chen Ying naturally recognized this as an opportune moment to foster closer ties."Sis, this is Song Hushan, Brother Song; this is his wife, Sister...
